Posted on February 20th, 2011 by BroccoliHut

Roasted Beet Salad with Clementines & White Beans

(Serves 1)

Ingredients

  • 2-3 small beets, red or golden
  • 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups baby spinach, raw
  • 3/4 cup canned, no-salt-added white beans
  • 2 small clementines, peeled, sectioned, and seeds removed
  • salt, to taste
  • freshly ground pepper
  • aged balsamic vinegar

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Wash beets and remove greens. Save greens for later consumption or discard/compost.

2.Place beets on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and fold into a packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until easily punctured with a fork.

3. Allow beets to cool enough so that they may be easily handled. Wearing rubber gloves, gently rub the skin until it peels off. Cut beets into 1/4 inch slices.

4. Place spinach on a plate and top with sliced beets, beans, and clementines. Season with salt, pepper, and vinegar. Enjoy!

    I just bought beets for the first time and have been searching for a recipe…this is perfect! Thanks!

    Oh, but the beets I bought are already steamed (the boxed kind from Whole Foods). Can I still roast those?

    beets and white beans are one of my favorite salad combos! I cheat with canned though… (absolutely not pickled)

    Blah! I don’t like beets. I’ve never actually *had* beets, but I just know I don’t like them :D

    Still looks pretty though!
